View rooms


"This Moorish fantasy castle looks over Lake Orta, and has lavish, Arabian Nights styled interiors and an intimate atmosphere."

The boutique hotel Crespi on Lake Orta is often known as a ‘restaurant with rooms’ – rather unfairly, as it has more to offer than ‘just’ fabulous food. Guests come for a slice of pure Italian opulence, revelling in the complete package of top-notch rooms, restaurant and amenities. The boutique hotel can only be easily accessed by car, so it’s best to hire one if you wish to stay.

The facilities

The Villa Crespi Restaurant is a top destination for all foodies: it has 2 well-earned Michelin stars, serving up contemporary Mediterranean food in interesting combinations – try the mussels with red beans.

The boutique hotel’s outdoor pool is great for relaxing on sunny days, and guests often go to the sauna for some extra pampering. Guests can also relax in the Villa Crespi’s grand library and take advantage of the free parking.

The boutique hotel is popular for wedding parties.

The rooms

Villa Crespi’s 14 opulently-decorated rooms are spread across 8 floors, affording the top rooms unsurpassed views. Rooms have balconies and satellite TV.
